Lunations
Our Moon's appearance changes every night, cycling through phases as it orbits Earth. This video animates images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing a full year of lunations. Each lunation, or full cycle of phases, takes about 29.5 days.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
